Although the project focuses on Arabic identity, it encourages the development of similar platforms to support other Right To Left languages, as all RTL languages (such as Hebrew, Urdu and Farsi, etc.) are not supported globally, and there is an urgent need to pay attention to those cultural and linguistic minorities.
The cultural, social and economic aspects of Habka meet the UN sustainable development goals by supporting economic development and human well-being in developing regions, as well as improving technological capabilities and enriching information society. Habka provides a suitable environment for industrial and economic diversification that promotes the establishment of new infrastructures that are compatible with development in the film industry. It promotes sustainable and comprehensive economic growth, provides decent jobs for workers in this field, and achieves high levels of production.
The project enables everyone (especially Arabic speakers) to create and utilize information and knowledge in the cultural field of art, cinema, script writing and filmmaking. The platform consolidates the information society, stimulates cultural identity in the cultural and artistic field, and promotes cultural and linguistic diversity. Habka allows the creation and preservation of local cultural content, increases its opportunities for dissemination, allows content makers and filmmakers to enhance their presence, and helps preserve cultural heritage by providing the necessary tools in the artistic field.
